I'm now searching to find some rubber seals for my doors.I have found the one that's in the picture ,but i don't know if it does the job. This specific rubber is a 8mm x 15mm square epdm rubber . Do you have any advice/suggestion about this ?
Thank you very much for your time!

Hello & howdo' nikossyg?
Apologies for the late reply - I have only just read your post. In his book "HOME RECORDING STUDIO: BUILD IT LIKE THE PROS", Rod Gervais recommends using General Motors 4731 profile weatherstrip which was widely used in the auto industry. It appears to be impossible to find in the UK but I managed to source some from a company in Anaheim, California called 'Clips and Fasteners'. They sell it in 50 foot lengths and offer international shipping. Best wishes, John.
